Retention level low for women

I have noticed a trend in our state that we educate women and we cannot hold onto them. The retention level of educated women is low because there are just no opportunities for them in positions of power. I offer a solution to this problem which would also take care of the low percent of women in general who are in positions of power.

I think that we should offer a tax cut to businesses that have a ratio of at least 40 percent women serving on the board, or as partners in law firms, or as full professors at universities. If we can offer women in our state the potential to be able to use their education and degrees while improving Louisiana, I believe that they would step up and accept the chance eagerly.
